2 NHTSA recalls · 28 owner complaints on file

Two separate high-severity recalls on this year both involve seat belt hardware that can explode in a crash — one covering Hyundai and Genesis pretensioners broadly, one specific to the Venue. Neither told owners to stop driving or park outside. Owner complaints number 28 and are unverified reports; one mentions a crash, none a fire or injury. They land mostly in unknown or other (13) and electrical system (10), with seat belts appearing five times.

Before you buy

  1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
  2. Ask for proof that both seat belt recalls were completed, not just one
  3. Inspect front seat belts for retraction, fraying or any prior deployment
  4. Test electrical items — infotainment, lights, charging ports — given the complaint pattern
  5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Hyundai dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
